Question

Consider the exponential function f(x) =1/5(15x). What is the value of the growth factor of the function?

Answer 1

we know that

An exponential function is a function where the input, x, appears in the exponent.

the equation of an exponential function usually looks like:

$y=ab^{x}$

where

a is a number called the initial value

b is a number called the growth factor

In this problem

we have

$f(x) =\frac{1}{5}(15^{x})$

where

$\frac{1}{5}$ -------> is the initial value

$15$ ------> is the growth factor

therefore

the answer is the option

$D. 15$

Answer 2

The answer is 100% D - 15
